"Watch That Man" is a song by the English musician David Bowie, the opening track on the album Aladdin Sane from 1973. Its style is often compared to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street.[8][6][9] The mix, in which Bowie's lead vocal is buried within the instrumental sections, has generated discussion among critics and fans.[8][10]
